Chapter 246 Pregnancy Check-up (1/2)

Hiram looked lost, scanning the documents on the table. ”We can't change what has happened already,” he said without lifting his head up. ”Why are you trying to deceive yourself?”

”But we are brother and sister! We grew up together! Nothing can change that! Hiram, our parents are old now. It's not right to make them worry about these things at their age, don't you think?”

Lydia said, looking at Hiram dolefully. Surely Hiram still had a place for her in his heart, she wondered.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have forgiven her for all the mistakes she did. He even chose to defend her instead of Rachel when the incident in the theatre happened.

”Hello, I'll arrange it at 3 o'clock in the afternoon,”

Hiram said on the phone, with his eyes still fixed on the documents. he hung up the phone, raised his head and told Lydia,” I have to go out to attend to something. You may go back home if you don't have anything else to do.”

Lydia nodded and said,” Okay, I shall go then. Take care of yourself, Hiram.”

After Lydia left, Hiram looked at his phone and saw that the screen had lit up: A new message.

A message from Rachel. Hiram's face slowly broke into a smile. He gently tapped on the screen of his phone.

”Honey, I find my tummy has got bigger again. I'll be having a pregnancy check-up tomorrow. The doctor said that the gender of our babies could be identified this time,”

Rachel had said in the message. She had attached a picture of her naked belly.

Hiram slowly scrolled down the picture of Rachel's swollen belly. His lips curled up into a very gentle smile.

He was missing her badly and he started contemplating whether to leave all his work and go back to her. His thoughts were interrupted by another message from Rachel.

”I guess that the chance for a boy and a girl as twins is quite small. So it is either two boys or two girls. Which would you prefer?

I know you're busy. Reply to me when you're free. And please don't worry about me. I'm fine. Good night,” Rachel had said.

Hiram frowned when he sensed the subtle change of tone in the words Rachel had sent. Looking at every word she sent, he smiled and thought to himself, 'This is how she is. She never bothers me with phone calls. She calls very rarely, but sends messages.'
